Dave, try these:

Boeing has investigated alleged interference from portable electronic
devices (PEDs) and concluded:

"As a result of these and other investigations, Boeing has not been able
to find a definite correlation between PEDs and the associated reported
airplane anomalies."

You can look this up at:

Aero 10 - Interference from Electronic Devices

Here's another one:

Electromagnetic interference with aircraft systems


Not to cast aspersions on Boeing research, as they are quite reputable, but
if they had found correlatable evidence of PED's interfering with avionics,
who gets sued? The passenger, a Hong Kong radio manufacturer, or the
aircraft builder?

In any case, the reports of interference keep coming in, despite the
difficulty of replicating the problem. Obviously, the problem is rare and
elusive, but, as in most Electromagnetic Compatibility issues, the easiest,
surest, and cheapest cure is to control the source of the problem.

Just turn off ALL passenger electronics for the duration of the flight. Read
a book for 2 hours, and let your kid kick the seat in front of him.
